RUBBER
The rubber product polybutadiene is highly reliable, and has long been used by all Japanese domestic tire manufacturers. In addition to automobile tires, UBEPOL-BR is also used for damping materials and golf balls, and for moolifying polystyrene resins.

Highly-functional UBEPOL-VCR has come to be highly regarded for use in radial tires. UBE has recently been emphasizing development of rubber/resin composites. One example of this is a rubber composite with microfibers or dispersed particulates of nylon , which is currently being used with positive results in automobile parts, including tires, timing belts and hoses. Demand is also developing for carbon masterbatch, into which carbon black and other substances are kneaded, for use in industrial and automobile parts, construction materials, and electrical /electronic components.

UBEPOL-BR15HB UBEPOL-BR150 UBEPOL-BR150L UBEPOL-BR150B UBEPOL-VCR412
Properties Properties Properties Properties Properties
BR15HB is a specially designed to have a higher branched molecular chain for plastics modifier (HIPS) BR150 is a standard grade of UBEPOL-BR. And this grade is well-balanced between processability and physical properties.
BR150L is a specially designed to have a higher linearity of molecular chain than that of UBEPOL-BR150. This is emphasized to improve the properties of vulcanizates. BR150B is a specially designed to have a higher branched molecular chain than that of UBEPOL-BR150.
This is emphasized to improve the processability of vulcanizates.
VCR412 is a originally devloped to improve the properties of conventional BR. This consists of micro-dispersed SPB resin and high-cis rubber matrix.
